Kennedy Qualified and Palin Unqualified? That’s Just Plain Snobbery
I don’t support Princess Caroline, but I understand how she is a Cult Goddess. Goddess worship is central to religion and mythology. It is as old as civilization.
The earliest carved images were of Neolithic Asian, European, ME fertility Goddesses. And Cults surrounding female Godesses NEVER celebrate them for wisdom – but for being the source of life, being right in their heart, which is all that matters. Goddesses are the beneficent ones, the authentic ones. They have the power to confer absolution on their Cult followers, who feel a compelling moral bond and love of the Goddess.
And they are always referred to in intimate terms…even today as Goddesses move from religion to the secular world of entertainment and politics.
“Our Blessed Virgin Mary”
“Wonderful Oprah, who heals and forgives us in our living rooms.”
“Hillary! Our Hope!”
“Our Sarah. Leader of Our Party. Denunciator of apostasy.”
“My Princess Caroline, as fertile and authentic as the Other Side’s “Sweet Sarah!”
What?? Sarah, the hero hockey mom who is everywoman, so pure and authentic? A secular Goddess like Madonna, Princess Caroline?
Of course.
It is the same stuff.
People defending the Goddess Caroline lead with the first step of Goddesshood. She is such a Good Mother and has done such a wonderful job raising them.
And follow that right on with how authentic Princess Caroline is – as just another average workin’ mom with the same concerns and same basic wisdom that everyday folks who need a wise Mummy cherish so. Caroline’s “Common sense wisdom” came from her Goddess Mom, who Caroline actually wrote a book about – extolling Jackie’s common sense wisdom and Jackie’s urge for America to get back to basic values. Like the Goddess Palin, Caroline speaks mainly by parrotting her side’s talking points…which are lapped up by her Cult’s followers.
With the Goddess basics dispensed with – fertility, good Mom, down home folksy wisdom…Godesses Palin and Caroline can get down to their real purpose in Western Mythos.
Dispensing Goddess absolution.
Goddess Caroline promises to forgive sensitive Lefties of all their guilt and bring them back to Camelot.
Goddess Sarah Palin has declared that America’s economic collapse is not the American public’s fault…as they all steered clear of ChinaMart and movin’ out of the Alaskan single-wide to triplewide with no money down.. No sirsee! You gosh-tooting betcha! And says that true believers in The Base are the real America, as pure in their hearts as the Goddess of the Far North is.
Cause hockey Moms and practical, authentic down-to-earth Manhattan socialite Moms know best, and they forgive us all. Caroline forgave America’s assassination sins…Cherished absolution. Goddess Sarah forgave Republican intolerance of non-conservative non-Christian Fundies, and greed…Whatta Goddess!
As for “intellectual heft” – Goddesses have little. Their Cults love them not for their medium-level brains but because they live the Mommy Madonna role and “they are right in their heart”.
Republicans who are befuddled how 70% of Americans have a visceral antipathy to their Goddess and her moral right to be President should sit down with Camelot worshippers on the Left. Since they are also befuddled how 70% of Americans do not love the Princess Caroline and her moral right, as a Goddess, to be a Senator.

Tex Taylor – And because Kathleen and Peggy can’t bring themselves to admit that if Sarah Palin had looked more like Madeline Albright than a beauty queen, Mrs. Palin would have been an honored candidate, they mask their personal envy of the younger brick house and her adoring crowd in Washingtonian elitism.
Goddesses always have adoring crowds, and those that debunk them, like Noonan, are hardly motivated by jealousy over “looks”. Noonan also goes after the non-sexy Goddesses Oprah and Hillary! when they say something stupid. Or show themselves largely berift of the powers of cognition and of depth of knowledge when forced to go “off script” – Goddess Palin’s problem in campaign, and more recent US and Canadian interviews.

John:
What panic one honest woman (Sarah Palin)in the hearts of the masses of hypocrits. Sarah Palin was in fact the most qualified candidate for President of the United States on both tickets. Barack Oba,a was in fact the least qualified. Sarat palin:
1. Governor of the fourth most important state in the Union.
2. Highest voter approval rating of any governor in the country
3. Head of a National Guard who’s a member of NORAD 12/7 Red Alert.
4. $19B state operating budget
5. $1.7B capital budget
6. CEO of 29,000 state employees
7. Negotiated international pipeline between Alaska, Canada, and Big Oil.
8. Mother of 5
Followers always want their Goddesses to be powerful. So they tend to puff up their female icon. Hillary was magically imbued with all God Bill’s experience and decision-making power though being 1st Lady. Goddess Oprah supposedly commands the Will of 22 million bon-bon munching housewives and 1 million homosexual males..
AS for John’s puffery:
1a. How is a state with bottom 5 ranking in GDP, population – and in the bottom 25 in defense assets – The 4th Most Important State? Do you refer to a poll of Alaskan schoolkids?
2a. Tiny states, population-wise tend to like their governors better. Same pattern with tiny town mayors over big city mayors.
3a. Goddess Palin is completely outside the military Chain-of-Command for Norad, missile defense, any national defense mission or response.
4a. No, Alaska only has a GDP of 29 billion, ranking 48th of the States and DC. It has an operating budget of 11 billion, mainly oil wealth givebacks under their socialist “redistribute the oil & gas wealth” program. The budget for actual gov’t is 5.5 billion. And “rugged, independent, Alaska” leads the nation in percent of population who are state or local employees – 16.6% – with DC 2nd at 16.2% and Nevada 51st with 8.3% of employees involved in Gov’t. Alaska and DC’s level of gov’t employees is more like what you find in Sweden, more than you find in France..
5a. A 1.7 billion capital budget for a small state like Alaska is fairly impressive, but remember that we are talking about Ted Stevens moving pork into that capital budget for things like “The Bridge to Nowhere” (Which the Goddess fully backed until the stench was too great).
6a. “CEO” of 29,000 people getting taxpayer-funded paychecks? The teachers and roadworker’s CEO? I guess that sort of metric would make Gray Davis, 1 1/2 years into his governorship of California, 22 times the CEO that Goddess Palin is.
7a. The “deal” the Goddess negotiated, is the one prepared 24 years ago by the oil & gas industry consortium of US, Dutch, British, Canadian firms and submitted to Canada and Alaska. Goddess Palin benefitted from conditions that blocked the deal…Stevens and others were able to beat back Fed Envilonmental obstructionists as energy prices went crazy, and Harper led a “pro-West Canada” government into power.
8a. Mother of 5!!!! Well, I know the love that Goddesses get from their fertility function, but does 5 vs Reagan’s 3 make her 40% more qualified, or 5 times more than the Clinton candidates, equally qualified to McCain given his litter size?
